A Joyous Father’s Day

(Note from Linda: I want to share the following praise, encouragement and prayer from one of our members whose husband returned home this past week! She took the time to post it on the private site this morning; so I asked for permission to share it here as well, because I know it will be very encouraging for everyone standing for marriage restoration. And even though later in the week, I’ll be writing about the five marriages we’ve seen restored when the stander was first “the prodigal”…since we have recently seen a significant increase in the number of men and women coming to the ministry who have committed adultery, I at least want to note here that MNO (Member Name Omitted) was a prodigal turned stander when her husband (who had previously been standing for the restoration of their marriage) became involved with a NCP (non-covenant person) right before she ended her non-covenant relationship! So NEVER give up on God! And be blessed and encouraged by this wonderful message of hope and encouragement from MNO, because when we turn from our sin and turn to God, HE FREELY PARDONS US, just as Isaiah 55 promises!)

Good morning everyone. I just want to praise the Lord for all of the joy and peace I have in my heart this morning. As my husband sleeps peacefully in OUR bed this morning, the praise music is playing, the children are awake and playing and I am cooking MY husband’s favorite dinner for Father’s Day. And I am overwhelmed and truly humbled by God’s infinite mercy toward me. I know today wil be a joyous Father’s Day! And I know my husband’s heart will be blessed; he has come home to a new wife…a wife that only God could have changed; believe me.

I know that many of you are still waiting, but I just want to encourage you today. Nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, will compare to the joy you will feel when your wait is over! When your faith becomes sight and you “see the salvation of the Lord”…all of the tears, sadness and pain WILL be gone.

Be courageous! DO NOT GIVE UP!!! GOD WILL fulfill EVERY promise and those who wait on Him will NOT be put to shame! HIS promise never fails! His word is sure; it is settled in heaven; it CANNOT return to Him void. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO FAIL. He is mighty; there is nothing too difficult for Him. He can move any mountain!!! Just BELIEVE!

Blessings,
MNO

My precious heavenly Father,
I lift up each and every marriage that is represented through this ministry this morning–all of my brothers and sisters who are standing and believing you for the restoration of their marriages. Fill them today with renewed strength and faith. Pour out a fresh touch upon them today to STAND with YOU for their marriages. Help them to understand fully that it is YOUR DESIRE to restore and heal their marriages for the GLORY of GOD; to show your mercy and power to all who will witness what you will do in their lives. Father, perform your word on their behalf. I pray in Jesus’ mighty, mighty name. Amen.
